ok ive had a bit of a rest... and ive been thinking some more..

and i really think that slim should change his avatar... i f%$kin hate clowns... they freak me out.

[FloydWestwood]

Awesome post Linton - some very good points in there too.

[Sl!m]

thanks linton! good to see some real thought put in to your post

as for the avatar.. it's staying

personally I am always a fan of the BBQ & Cruise thing as well... speaking of which, there will be one next month for our Christmas Cruise - though this is a Members Only cruise we do each year..

Everyone always says they are a lot of fun! So to all those non members, join up if you wanna come along.

i want a paintball day - a way to get to know people without the cars.

i believe that the JDMstyle tuning forum has its monthly meets that are somewhat "hosted" by companies some months. this could be something of a suggestion instead of dinners (most were weeknights so i enver went)

I'm keen for a rally day!!

And agreed...the clown should go

As per below amigo

The low numbers is this issue. Just not as many people make the effort to come out. About 2 years ago i used to get 20-30 people to the Great Northern for a beer n steak night, but last one i did about 3-4 months ago i think we maxed about 9 people....

Just not the #'s anymore to do monthly. Maybe 1 every 3 months may work.....

I must have missed that last social dinner.

Although, I hitted it up for the Texi Pre Drinks which was a really fun night.

I'd be up for something like once a month/2 months/3 months, but getting right up to north sydney on a weeknight (Unless Friday) is a big no no for me.

i agree something minus the cars is an excellent idea!

i also like the idea of more mixed club trackdays, I tend to go elsewhere for this kind of thing at the moment and I always loved the RENEW days and HSV days... you got to mix with a greater range of drivers and cars and you had a mixed of timed and untimed.

oh just out of interest, execs, how are the other club track days going, have they seen a drop off in numbers of recent time like we (appear) to have??

I think it doesn't matter what I think in the grand scheme...

but hillclimbs sound like fun, as does a rally,

I have a beat up old corolla that I love to bits but have no respect for that I could have a lot of fun cutting loose on a rally, as much as possible with a paddock basher anyway lol

paintball is awesome fun.. anything where there is something else to do.. as in... to just have a meet up with nothing to do is a) awkward and b) a tad boring when all you can really do is talk cars.

paintball, half day rally school, trailbike rides, etc.. all fun... there is a place up here that takes you through the watagans... your bike or their bikes.. up to you.. would be great fun.

that seems pretty cool! $200 to hire their bike for the day..

hmmmm

[Sl!m]

actually.. one thing I was meant to organise before it got too cold was a fishing/bbq day.. i have everything sorted for it.. apart from the weather..

would people be interested in that? it is in Sydney.. but for those out of sydney, it isnt too bad because you dont have to drive to sydney.. cruise for a couple hours.. then drive home.. drive to sydney, spend the day relaxing.. then drive home

[Jez13]

+1 for BBQ, -1 for fishing. I dont have the patience, plus if we are eating what we catch then I hope people have an appetite for toad fish. And if 80 people come, could you imagine 80 rods casting next to one another on a windy day....that sounds hilarious, make that +1 to fishing.

[Sl!m]

yeah I wouldnt expect everyone to fish..

can bring soccer ball and stuff too.. just muck around and hang out.. there is a trail to go bushwalking as well.. so just a nice outdoors type day..

[destrukshn]

AWD Dyno day...

[NZM.031]

id be keen to do that.. everyone bring 1 plate of food each, 1 carton of drinks and some deck chairs each and there would be enough food and drink for everyone to share, all different types of food from each corner of the globe. rather than leaving it up to 1 or 2 people to organise all the food then there not be enough or too much.

and if its a beautiful spot, on a beautiful day... there is nothing better than kicking back and soaking it up.

[Wacky Dee]

moar texis and driver training type of track days (like the one coming up on the 18th at OP)... oh and taxi service for those without a licence would be awesome. You get to drive someone elses' skyline for free and they get to get out of their home win-win

I haven't been to a texi/skidpand/track yet... as someone said not everyone can afford to trash their car/daily due to risk of ruining tyres and whatnot but for me it's a nonissue at the moment as the car's sitting in storage anyway so bring it on!

+1 for fishing type of trips .. Windsor has a nice park right accross the bridge with plenty of parking and mullet and carp are easy and fun to catch, plus the whole area is ideal for bbq/pincin/kicking a ball around ( http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&sou...mp;t=h&z=18 )

[Jez13]

WD40 is correct, that is a really nice spot with plenty of room. + the locals would be used to us since the putty run.

[FLN75S]

+1 for a rally day.

Actually, that is a pretty unique and cool idea - an SAU "multicultural day."

thats how my family do gatherings... as we all eat different things now and some have kids.. its just easier to bring plate of food that you want to eat and what you want to drink.. everyone just shares each others food, or sticks to their own. there are so many different nationalities on sau that it would be a fantastic mix and give a great insight to a nations REAL cuisine.
